The Decomposition Machine: Modeling
Starting
with the initial idea i decided to create the outer frame from scrap
1X3 and chicken wire. the motor to spin the inner decomposition area is
a windshield motor which was scrounged from scrap yard. As this was my
first outdoor installation, i attempted to waterproof the internals by
coating them entirelly in hot glue.
The Frame:
The
bottom of the frame is similar to an a frame used in construstion. Its
a simple build and acts as the strutural foundation. Keep in mind if
you plan on constructing your own, leave space for your windshield
motor.
The Case:
Another simple rectangle, this functions as the inner container for the biological waste.
The Assembly:
Again, another cad model. In this instance, i built this for someone so i wanted them to see what it would look like
A video of it in operation (the frame alone)
